To be honest this doesn't excite me whatsoever. If someone perhaps could give some examples of the amazing things that could be done with this new OS as compared to the existing ones, that would be helpful.

Perhaps I'm not open minded enough but I don't see this as being as important as operating systems of computers.

Either way, I care more at the moment about what to eat. I'm pretty hungry right now and theres nothing in the fridge. Ideas anyone? I've tried mustard, and ketchup sandwich... almost like a hotdog, just without the meaty taste.

Please don't judge me.

It could take some of the money that is going towards licensing and redirect it to a faster processor or more memory while keeping a smart-phone at a particular price-point. It could also help keep monopoly forces in check and allow competition to set prices on cellular services such as gps navigation or video/audio content delivery.

just use your imagination! it has access to all phone functions, apparently, including dialing, and taking pictures--and once it's installed on most phones, the sky's the limit. i imagine, for example, a slew of amazingly powerful and malicious viruses. perhaps one that will run up astronomical phone bills, just for somebody's nasty amusement, or one that would periodically take pictures, and send them to its remote masters. can your current phone do that?
